Being a waiter can be a challenge at times. You have to deal with unruly customers, endless rushes, and you are constantly on your feet. But some waiters have found a way to make their shifts go by just a little easierโthrough sarcasm and humor. When youโve had a long day, thereโs nothing better than a good laugh. So check out this list of waiters who gave their customers a bit more than they bargained for and the next time that youโre out at a bar or restaurant, make sure to tip your waiter well.


1. Long Day
For this bartender, St. Patrickโs Day is always a big event. She was the only one working being the bar of the only Irish pub in townโso she earned herself a nap. And by the looks of all the cash on the table, Iโd say her extra-long day was worth it. Well done, miss. Well done.


2. Smooth Move
Sometimes you donโt need to say a thing when you are trying to make a move on someone. This barista was clever enough to let his cup do the talking for him. Itโs clever and straight to the point. I hope she left him her number.


3. Brian With A โYโ
Some people are particular about things. And based on this picture, Iโd say Bryan is a bit particular about having his name spelled correctly. However, this barista could care less about how Bryan spells his name. She heard exactly what you said Bryan, but sheโs got more important things to do than spell your name right.


4. Pac-Man Pancake
The best way to get through a long shift is to have some fun with it. When this cook flipped his flapjack, he couldnโt help but notice a Pac-Man resemblance. So what did he do? He fully committed, thatโs what he did. Thank you, chef, for being awesome.


5. Clever
The real question is, has this shirt ever worked for him? Sure, itโs meant to be funny, but some people canโt resist a man with a good sense of humor. Either way, itโs clear that this bartender knows how to have a good laugh. Iโd have a beer at his bar.


6. Casual Skate
Why walk to your table when you can skate? This waiter is wasting no walking, she has too many tables to take care of. Letโs just hope someone didnโt spill a drink on the floor. That could make for one nasty fall.


7. Rude Customer
When this customer heard another customer being rude, he was sure to let the waiter know that she was doing a good job. Clearly, the waiter appreciated the manโs compliment. Donโt be rude to your waiters, people. They have to deal with a lot more than you think.


8. Skills
This may be the most impressive plate stack that I have ever seen. I know if I were to try and pick this tower of dishes up, they would come crashing down to the floor. I want to shake this busserโs handโonce he puts down his dishes of course.


9. Working Smarter Not Harder
This waiter has got it figured out. Why walk around aimlessly, waiting for someone to need your help, when you could take a quick powernap at work instead? I prefer to be left alone at my table when Iโm eating anyways. This is my kind of waiter.


10. Be Nice To Your Bartender
This just goes to show why you shouldnโt be rude to your bartender. They have the power to cut off your alcohol consumption as well as make your drinking situation a little tougher than you were hoping for. I hope this customer was a little too-far gone to be able to successfully retrieve his final beer.


11. Crackers, Anyone?
What good is chili without any crackers? This customer must have been adamant on having extra crackers with his meal. And whoever was working the register made sure to get the order exactly right. I just hope they actually gave him that many crackersโฆ and put them in the chili bowl for him.


12. Tips For Shoes
People are much more interested in tipping well when they know that their money is going to good use. This waiter seemed to know that. She decided to advertise exactly where the customerโs hard-earned money would be going. I just wonder if sheโll keep the duct tape shoeseven after she buys some new ones.


13. Lactose Intolerant
Dietary restrictions can be tough to deal with when you are going out to eat. Sometimes the menu doesnโt contain items that you can eat. For this personโs brithday, a bun with chocolate on it was all the waiter could find that didnโt contain lactose. This is a true A-for-effort scenario.


14. Picky Eater
Some people can be very picky when it comes to their food. But this customer definitely takes the cake for pickiest eater. I can only hope that the chef completed all of these tasks while cooking this meal. And if so, I hope the customer offered them a huge tip.


15. Phallic Dessert
It may take a second, but what does this dessert resemble to you? Once you see it, you canโt unsee it. I think itโs great for chefs to have fun with their creations. Afterall, you can only make the same old boring cake so many times before you go a little crazy back there in the kitchen.


16. Say It How It Is
Sometimes, honesty is the best policyโeven when it means being completely blunt and a bit sarcastic. This waiter must have done a great job or they wouldnโt have been able to pull off this type of confidence. If this had been my waiter, a big tip would have come their way.


17. Chilly Customer
When this customer told their waiter that they were cold, they did they only thing that they could think ofโbring them a tablecloth. Restaurants donโt usually have extra sweaters on hand. But this woman seemed just fine with a tablecloth blanket. Kudos to the server for thinking on their feet.


18. Fair
No topic is off-limits at a bar. And if you are a bartender, you canโt help up overhear all the conversations that are taking place at the bar. So when this bartender realized that Game of Thrones would probably come up in conversation, they made sure that the customers knew that they werenโt caught up yet.


19. T-Rex Bartender
When in doubt, put on a dinosaur head. Iโve personally never tried, but I can only imagine that it positively impacts the amount of tips that you receive. The hard part is actually doing your work while wearing the costume. But once you master working as a dinosaur, youโll never work as a human again.


20. More Foam Please
Itโs never a good idea to tell your bartender how to do their jobโฆespecially if they are Irish. This customer told their bartender that their Guiness wasnโt filled to the top. So in return, they received more foam and a nice message on top. Look close and youโll see it.


21. Plate To-Go
When this customer asked to have her plate to go, the waiter couldnโt resist a little joke. They came back with a small plate inside of a to-go container. Thatโs pretty funny if you ask me. But if I was this customer, Iโd hope that my food would still be on its way.


22. Thatโs What She Said
Thereโs nothing quite like a good, thatโs-what-she-said joke. Itโs a joke that youโve heard and been saying since you were in Jr. High and, when done right, is still funny. This cashier couldnโt pass up this opportunity to do a good thatโs-what-she-said joke. And if you ask me, Iโd say that they nailed it.


23. Cat Check
Sometimes itโs the smallest gestures that have the biggest impact. When this waiter drew a cat on the bill, the customers were happy to see it. Although it doesnโt take much time to do, this will be something that the customers will remember for a while. And it will definitely be reflected in their tip.


24. Yelp Review
You canโt erase a bad Yelp review from the internet, but you can own it. No matter how good the service is that you provide, you wonโt be able to make everyone happy. So when one person has a bad day at your restaurant, it shouldnโt negatively affect your business. This waiter played it perfectly. Just own it and move on.


25. Serious Talent
Sometimes youโll find talent in the most surprising of placesโand this waiter clearly has some serious talent. I couldnโt balance that much of anything on my arms, let alone someone elseโs food. One slip and there goes quite a bit of money. But Iโve got confidence in this kid, heโll make it to where heโs going.


26. Pretty Pho King Funny
When done right, a good play on words is hilarious. And this Pho restaurant nailed it. Iโd come back here just to read these shirts again. A little humor goes a long way in the food industry.


27. Put A Lid On It
If you spill your orange juice, itโs on you. When this kid spilled his juice, the waiter decided that they werenโt going to take anymore chances. They brought over this hilarious spill-proof cup. Hopefully he gets to keep it.


28. Double-Take
You may have to look at this picture twice to understand what you are seeing. At first glance you may think that this barista is naked from the waist down, but look again. She is actually wearing skin-colored leggings. Probably not the best choice of pants for work, but hey, technically sheโs not breaking any dress-code rules.


29. Bored At Work
Sometimes work is so slow that youโve already completed all of your tasks for the day. But since itโs not quitting hour just yet, you canโt go home. Thatโs when itโs time for the at-work selfie. Itโs always guaranteed to shave a little time off of your shift.


30. Terrifying Truth
Sometimes itโs better not to know what people are actually thinking. But every once in a while, you get to know someoneโs true intentionsโand they can be terrifying. This just goes to show that you should never mess with your server. They have access to your food before you do after all.


31. How About A Lemon?
Iโm not sure what led up to the waiter putting this many lemons on this customerโs glass, but itโs a pretty funny sight. I can only hope that the customer asked one too many times for lemon in their water. Rather than simplying put one, the waiter decided to give them exactly what they asked for.


32. Pickle Destruction
This customer let his waiter know in a very unique way that he didnโt like pickles. He told him that for every pickle he received, he would destroy a city. So the waiter brought him a plate of pickles with a list of his least favorite cities. I guess weโll see what happens.


33. Small Beer
When this customer asked for a small beer, he didnโt expect this. Either his bartender has a very good sense of humor or he just takes things very literally. Either way, this makes for one funny picture. If it were me, Iโd drink the little beer and ask for a large one next time.


34. One Fry Short
When this waiter dropped a fry on his way over to the cutomerโs table, he made sure to get the customer what he owed himโa single fry. I mean, you canโt be upset at that, right? He settled his fry debt and now the two of them are even. Well done, waiter.


35. Nothing For Dessert
When this kid was asked what he wanted for dessert, his response was, โNothing.โ The waiter took this literally and brought him, wellโฆ nothing. Everyone else was amused by this. Everyone except this kid, of course.


36. Best Server Shirt
There is nothing more frustrating as a server than having someone ask you for something when you are already helping someone else. This waiter found a way around this. She had this awesome shirt made. There should be no more requests from behind her now.


37. Small Check
When this customer jokingly asked for a small check, the waiter had a joke of their own. They brought back the smallest check they could come up with. The price is still high, but the check is small. I guess this customer got what they asked for.


38. Lattes Are Forโฆ
Some people are convinced that the types of drinks that you order mean something about your character. So when he told his buddy who he thought lattes were for, the barista made sure to make him a special latteโone that described the name he called his buddy for ordering one.


39. Last Supper
This server wanted to do something special for her last shift. So she decided to get some people together and recreate the โLast Supperโ painting. It actually resembles it quite a bitโjust a little more modern.


40. Another O.J. Lid
Iโm not sure why orange juice is so hard not to spill for some people. But it seems as though all waiters know the lid trick. If the customer spills it once, then they get a lid and a straw. Age is not a factor.
